Re: Larger Tank
Anyhoo, many people look for small motorcycle tanks on eBay or such.

Re: Larger Tank
If you have a motorcycle salvage yard in your town you might look for a tank there. I'm using an 80cc Yamaha dirt bike tank. 1.25 gal and fits a bicycle frame nicely with a little fabrication for the mounts. Good luck.

Re: Larger Tank

and see what I come up with. I need a gallon capacity.

Re: Larger Tank
Expect the 4L tank to be scratched up, not really rounded well. Even one of the posted sale pics show it scratched up.
BTW the thing is HUGE. I think the newer 3L tanks that are coming in new engine kits are the way to go for style if you are looking at stock type tanks.
